The Viking Ship Museum was amazing. Three 9th century wooden boats - it’s amazing they have survived! I loved every minute I had here, and got some amazing videos as souvenirs. I learned a lot about the Vikings and consider this museum a highlight of my trip Oslo.

Interesting museum that is exactly what it claims to be. No fuss, with focus on the three ships that have been found and restored. There's also a projected movie in of the halls that runs every 15 minutes or so, but that's about it. Have probably expected more for the price, but if you have any interest in the Vikings' history, this is a must.

This is a small museum with a few big viking boats. Still very impressing about the size and the craftmanship skills shown in these boats. Apart from the big boats, there is not much more to see here actually.

At first it can look a bit empty and even slightly disappointing (that minimalist Scandinavian way) but then you see the real Viking ships and start noticing all the support information all around. It's a very specific museum and one you can't find anywhere else.

A beautiful museum that feels surreal to visit. A good way to admire the ancient artwork of our ancestors housed in a very unique building.

To tell the truth, I expected more from the site. I thought that the museum would be bigger and that they would have more typical and autochthonous things from the Viking age, but still, I liked it. The boats amaze a bit. They are beautiful.

Small but really interesting museum if you have a thing with Viking history. Seeing the Viking ships is overwhelming and the good part is that you are allowed to take pictures. Detailed info is offered in Norwegian, English and German. Short but very artistic movie about Viking ships is on, every half an hour or so.

The Viking Ship Museum is closed for renovation until 2025/2026. Museo pequeño donde ver barcos vikingos auténticos. Como en todos los museos pequeños la visita del mismo se ve dificultada por la cantidad de visitantes en el mismo. Recomendable para los fanáticos de Vikings. Gratuito con la Oslo pass.

The Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, Norway, is a captivating destination for history enthusiasts. Situated on the Bygdøy Peninsula, the museum houses well-preserved Viking ships, including the Oseberg ship, Gokstad ship, and Tune ship. These remarkable vessels, dating back to the 9th century, showcase the intricate craftsmanship and maritime prowess of the Viking Age. Visitors can marvel at the detailed carvings, artifacts, and learn about the cultural and seafaring heritage of the Vikings. The museum provides a fascinating glimpse into Norway's maritime history, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in the legacy of the Viking era.

Great place with tons of history on display. Great findings from an era long gone. Ferry ride is lively also. You’ll need a bit more than an hour to wonder around. One of the most interesting things to do while in Oslo.

Wow, this museum was awe-inspiring! The building itself is not very large, but the artifacts inside really do a great job of using the available space. The Viking ships themselves have been preserved very well. The other artifacts expand on the historical knowledge and understanding of the time. The Viking Ship Museum is a must see if you are in the area!

The most amazing artifacts I have seen. We spent the entire day here because there is so much to see. An original village, ships, and art. So beautiful! I would love to live in the neighborhood surrounding the museum! —2016

"The Viking Ship Museum is closed and will reopen in 2026/2027 as the Museum of the Viking Age" Quoted from the official website of this museum. Pictures are made from the Norwegian folk museum and show the construction and expansion of the museum of the Viking age which I will gladly visit when it's open again.

A relatively short ferry ride away from the Oslo city center and a short walk. The journey there is quite nice as its nestled in more nature. If you're into Viking ships this is a nice stop. Signage is available in English too. It's not a large museum, but filled with interesting artifacts. With the skyhigh prices of Oslo, this was a nice break. You still have to pay, it's just not crazy expensive. I've included on pic of a ship that was on display...very nice.

If you're captivated by the iconic sculptures of Vigeland Park, the Vigeland Museum is a must-visit. It's not just an extension of the park; it's a portal into the artist's creative process. Here, you'll find plaster models, sketches, and early works that offer a fascinating glimpse into how Vigeland's masterpieces came to be. The museum also showcases his apartment, preserved as it was during his lifetime, giving you a unique sense of the sculptor's world. In short, if the park piqued your interest, the Vigeland Museum will provide a deeper appreciation for this artistic genius.

A good place to get to know Vigeland and his work

Very quiet - hardly anyone there. Got to see smaller versions of the park sculptures plus more.

🇺🇸👍👍👍👍 If you are interested in the museum and have a statue, I recommend it the ticket price is suitable in Euros 🇩🇪 Wenn Sie sich für das Museum interessieren und eine Statue haben, empfehle ich es der Ticketpreis ist in Euro angemessen 🇳🇴 Hvis du er interessert i museet og har en statue, anbefaler jeg den billettprisen passer i euro (Translated by Google) 🇺🇸👍👍👍👍 If you are interested in the museum and have a statue, I recommend it the ticket price is suitable in Euros 🇩🇪 If you are interested in the museum and have a statue, I recommend it the ticket price is reasonable in euros 🇳🇴 If you are interested in the museum and the statue, please accept the ticket price in euros

Extraordinary and Atmospheric Museum of Great Artist In the several rooms of this interesting museum are presented sculptures and models that were created by well-known Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. There are concepts of sculptures that are now part of the bridge, fountain and obelisk in the park in Frogner in Oslo. Furthermore, in the museum are also several models that were never realised on the full scale (some of them showing Vigeland's visions of heroes of sagas and Eddic poems).

Visiting this museum before going to Vigeland Park will make you more appreciative of the sculptures and gain more knowledge about Vigeland's art.

I've been to see this sculpture museum and park twice now (in 2016 and 2021) and both times i really enjoyed it. The park is a really pretty walk and scultures are amazing, this is coming from someone who doesn't have much experience with art but enough to enjoy it :)

The mysterious Gustav Vigeland is Worth a deep dive on your Oslo visit. Defenetly see the park and check the museum if you are interested in sculpting.

Small but fantastic museum with some truly unique statues from a few time periods with many artists. Highly recommend coming here and spending some time to marvel at both the small and large artifacts. The museum is laid out extremely logically by time period and category and the reusable museum map is well made and reduces waste.

Wonderful museum dedicated to the famous sculptor Gustav Vigeland. Located right next to the park that bears his name and many statues, it’s easily accessible via public transportation, either tram or buses. The exhibition itself is quite grand and extensive. Definitely worth a visit.

This museum offers an introduction to Vigeland's art and craft. Visiting the museum first and then the Vigeland Sculpture park is more rewarding than visiting that park alone.

After a couple of hours, I feel amazed from the amount of information you can get from this museum. The history behind all modern explorations to the North and south poles are included in two buildings with the focus to the Norwegian missions, which were ,no doubt, the most important and successful. It is not only the ships inside, but the history you learn on your way around the exhibitions. Highly recommended.

Situated right next to the water with a great view. Being able to climb inside the boats and to see the interior of the Fram including the rooms of the officers is great fun. The Maritime Museum Right Next to it has a nice cafe with good food.

One of the coolest museums I've been to. The giant shop models that you can walk through are very fun to experience. Lots and lots of information panels, you could spend forever reading if you wanted to.

A small but highly enjoyable museum. The highlight are the two ships from the polar expeditions; you can enter inside and walk across the different chambers, really unique experience. Can be done in 30 minutes if in a hurry, but can spend 1-2h if you are interested in the details of the expeditions. There is a public bus that stops right in the entrance, that is probably the best way together there.

Beautiful museum! Here you learn everything about the research trips to the North Pole/Greenland. You can also enter two ships to see how it was on board.

I would give 6 points. It’s astonishing view and dive into the history of discovery the both Poles. It’s history about brave men and obsession to the main goal. The Fram itself is a wonderful peace of modern history. I highly recommend to visit this museum

Really cool experience and beautifully laid out museum. Even if you don’t think you’d be overly interested in Antarctic expeditions, the narrative of the museum sweeps you up in it - culminating in an opportunity to climb aboard the ship. Also don’t miss the experience at the front of the second level, not sure what’s going on behind those doors but it’s fun for sure

Great museum for fans of exploration, sea travel and anything Arctic/Antarctic. We really enjoyed touring the ships. The exhibits were enlightening and had several interactive components. Our family enjoyed the visit from young to old.

This was a wonderful experience. Almost everything was accessible to people with disabilities, except for the hole in the ship. The movie was terrific, and the 270-degree view from the top of the ship was amazing. It wasn't too crowded today. The museum is not just about one specific explorer; it covers all of the Arctic and Antarctic explorers. You should plan to spend at least 2-3 hours here. There are also two other museums on-site that you may want to visit.reat experience. Everything is wheelchair accessible but the hole in the ship.

Must Visit place if you are in Oslo. Very nice Museum with great collections. It's near to the sea. So nature is also very beautiful here...

Very informative museum, with a lot of pictures and a lot to read. It would take couple of visits to see everything. The ships are amazing though, the way they are set up allowing the public to visit the interior and see how things used to look like is really nice. It was impressively well maintained. People with accessibility issues will definitely have trouble to see the interior of the ships but getting on them should be doable.

Loved it. We could go on board the ship and explore. Lots to read, look at. Good visit, particularly if you have children. My teenage daughter really enjoyed it.

Wonderful museum about arctic expeditions. This is another museum that shouldn't be missed, where you will see two huge ships from two different expeditions. The ships are great to see outside and even inside. You can enter in both ships and see all the cabins and can imagine how was the live on the boat of each member of the crew. You can learn about their live and stories and expeditions. Do not miss this museum as you will not regret it. You can walk from Folk museum and see a beautiful neighbourhood or you can take the boat from the center.

It's a fun experience. There is so much to see and read, that you can spend a whole day here. We were here for 3 hours, but skipped some of the reading. Walking the ship replicas is cool and the introduction movie you can see at the museum cinema sets the stage nicely. It'a easy to get here from the centre by a number 30 bus.

The boat ride out to the Islet is worth the effort to get to this amazing museum. Had no idea what we'd see when we went in but it was definitely one of the more unexpected pleasures that we discovered whilst visiting Oslo. Worth doing as part of a day trip to the area which also has an open air viking museum a shortish walk or boat ride away...

Very good museum. Had two boats you could fully explore the insides of. Lots of steps to get upto deck level, although lifts are provided. Had small refreshments area with seating. Staff were friendly. Packages including adjacent museums are available. A bus service from Oslo centre drops you off directly outside.

Unexpected gem! Went there as something to do in Oslo and was a great time, you can go on the Fram ship and under the deck and you see loads. There are fun, interactive parts and a short film, loads to see for the money you pay. Easily accessible from Oslo town centre, there is a cafe outside and beautiful views over the fjords.

We had a great day at the Fram Museum. Had a lot of interactive elements such as being able to go into the ships. We pre-booked but don’t think it was necessary. The bus service was the most reliable mode of transport as taxis were expensive.

Fantastic!! Has rhe original boat that went to North and South poles. You can walk all the way through it with many other things about its journey's to see

Amazing story told at this museum. Really enjoyed our visit. Definitely recommended if you have a few hours free.

My friend and I loved it!! We’re both 21, but exploring the ship & doing the small challenges honestly made our day. So much to see and learn about the exploration of the North Pole! There’s an igloo you can get into, or you can try the sledge pushing simulator. The attention to detail is amazing and I’d recommend this museum. Also - amazing views of Oslo outside!

One of the most interesting museum we have visited! If you are in Oslo this is a must see museum! With Oslo Pass you have free entrance so it totally worth it! The history of this museum and this vessel is very interesting! You can experience the life of the crew from this vessel because you can take a walk on the ship and inside of it! We totally recommend visiting this museum! 👍

We had a good time at this museum. Our kids really enjoyed getting to go below deck on the ships. I was honestly surprised by how much was available below the decks. The interactive projections outside of the Fram were really fun. It really made it feel like you were on the boat. It only takes about an hour or two to go through it quickly with kids.

Very interesting museum! Free with the Oslo pass, easily accessible by bus and it’s open on Mondays. It’s very cool to get into the replicas of the ships. The external area provides a nice sea view. Really worth the visit.

This is probably the most friendly opera house in the world. It merged into the landscape becoming part of community where people can come and go easily, for a performance or not. The area is now much more developed than a few years ago and is definitely worth a visit for dance and/or opera lovers. I also highly recommend the guided tour but need to book in advance.

Very uniquely designed opera house. The structure is very interestingly designed and layer out with slopes everywhere. Very close from city Centre area. You’d see lot of people here. The views from the top are good as well. We saw a lot of people doing photo shoots as well.

Beautiful building with nice ocean front view

Super spot … the view on the opera and the Oslo harbour. Depending on the light the scenario can be quit different. With a morning sun I recommend it, early morning you are here almost by yourself. The water is so peaceful.

The sloped stone surface does not have warning lines on the drop edges. visually appealing but potentially a safety hazard. Intense sunlight reflection from the surface

I love this building, I’ve been up during good weather, bad weather and it is always awesome. Today we went for the guided visit inside and it is even more incredible: it is a 50 min visit that tells you a little story and lets you visit where the magic happens. Backstage, main stage, the workshop for costumes and all the props. Amazing!

We were outside climbing the terrace. You could see the whole of city from the top.

We watched a performance of 'Così fan tutte' - loved it! A gloriously fun performance in an iconic location. Then topped off with a stroll on the roof to see Oslo at night - amazing!

An architectural wonder of the city of Oslo. Culture, art and history lovers will enjoy their visit to this magnificent monument. The architecture is modern, sober, airy and especially spacious. Do not hesitate to go inside to visit the place. If however you want to attend an opera or ballet performance, you will have to reserve beforehand! If you are lucky, the roof can be opened and you can go up on the roof to take pictures of the city of Oslo, its port and its beautiful lights!

Good place to visit. One can enjoy the beautiful city view from the terrace. Very important the clean and free toilets are available else you have to pay for it in Oslo.

Interesting modern architecture but as with a lot of Oslos new buildings, it lacks the imagination and grandeur of traditional architecture. Scandi building design is clean, flat, smooth surfaces with concrete and glass. I prefer older buildings and Oslo has been rebuilt in square concrete? Careful walking up the sloped roof as there are many raised edges, we saw 2 people tumble over after tripping on the uneven surfaces - Basically watch where you’re walking and stop to look at the views!

A great way to experience Oslo is to see an opera here. I have been three times and enjoyed each visit more than the last. The tickets are not out of reach (I am from the USA) and the easy to use surtitles are available in English, Norwegian or can be switched off. The hall is warm and the acoustics are fantastic. The orchestra and singers could be heard even at the quietest of pianissimos. There is a cafe, restaurant and free coat check.

Very nice infrastructure and nice place to go for opera, ballet and concerts in the city. I couldn’t make it on time to attend an event here, please check schedule and get your ticket in advance. Touristic destination, has good demand 🫶

One of the best Sculptures parks I have ever visited. No entry fee. A huge collection of Great Sculptures made of stones, metals with deep meaning and emotions. I fully recommend visiting this place.

Beautiful garden, easy to get to via public transport. The sculptures are much fun -- humans in so many different poses. Some serious, some playful. An enjoyable few hours.

Weird and awesome. Stunning statues, made with so much creativity! We had fun reenacting some of them. The central part was really full of people, but worth wading through them for a good look.

Vast park with interesting statues. The cafe is delightful. Clean, well maintained but rather busy for a Monday mid morning. Lots of tourist groups snapping pictures with nude statues.

I love such places. Full of nature and art. Clean and perfectly cut grass everywhere. You can see the tremendous amount of work put into this place. Very nice and inventive sculptures, everyone sees something different in them. They stimulate the human imagination. Everything is thoughtful and interesting there. You can calm down and relax here, and it is difficult to find such places in the capital. For families with children, couples and solo people, it's also cool that a lot of people sit here on blankets and have a picnic, play games and sports, which is why there is so much energy here.

Spectacular huge sculpture garden. Open 24/7. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds. The detail on some of these sculptures was unbelievable so much emotion and story displayed in them. Acessible via public transit and Hop On Hop Off bus.

This sculpture park is a must-see. Warning - the sculptures are all human forms and anatomically correct. Prudes should not be here. There are fantastic stories about this art, so you will benefit by researching him.

An excellent park! Lots to see and lots to take great pictures of!!! It's fun to pose like statutes and take pictures. It's a stunning garden, so just walking around is just simply enjoyable. It's free too! Highly recommended to visit!

Visited this place on 8/5/24, was very impressed by the sculpture on display. Admission is free & park is huge, take your time. I've 17 other photos that weren't allowed to post due to nudity sculpture.

It is really nice park, especially in sunny days you can enjoy the sun while observing Gustav’s sculptures. There are some of my favorites. It is recommended to go there via tram or electronic scooters :)

Very nice place to visit for free, with nice sculptures and lots of places to rest and chill. You can go up on a small hill and have a great view of Oslo.

I almost skipped this because it is a bit out of the way from the main strip, but boy am I glad I didn’t. Dozens of sculptures and engravings depicting humans in various forms and with different relationships to the self and other. I haven’t seen that wife of a variety of sculpture themes together like that.

Enjoyed the statues found throughout. The fountain exhibit was very cool. An easy walk from if your staying in the Karl Johan Gate area. Lots going on, obvious tourists sightseeing, outdoor exercise classes, joggers, at least one large playground area and expansive walking paths with well tended garden like areas.

Visiting from New York City. Extremely exciting sculptures and concepts. I visited here on a Sunday perhaps the best day possible. The vibe and the cafe located on site was dreamy and very nice. Definitely worth the trip from downtown Oslo.

A public park. Very well kept with large grass areas, tree lined walkways and a bridge with many sculptures. Plenty of bench seating, cafes and washrooms. Buses and trams stop outside the front gates.

Not everyone likes this artwork. I did a lot. Still impressive even if you don't like it. Visit is a must if you are in Oslo

This is a must see if you are in Oslo. I am not really a sculpture fan but the ark is home to the most amazing collection of human studies. Your approach to the central obelisk (if thats the right description is lined with stidies of the human form. I noticed a pattern, but i might be wrong, so don’t be led by this… It looks like the statues take you through stages of life - childhood, youth, parent and grandparents. Either way - the whole place is totally amazing. We went in the winter (February) so it might be very busy in the summer. You’ll see from my photos though that you shouldn’t be frightened off by the cold or snow. I think it added to the experience.

A must see when visiting Oslo. Tranquil park with beautiful statues in various (strange) poses. Take your time to walk around and observe the details of the statues. No entrance fee to pay, just roam around for free!

I loved this park. The nature, the statues, the color of the leaves. Everything was perfect and relaxing. It's a good choice for escaping from the crowd of the city and relaxing.

This park is a must-see! The statues are amazing! It’s very clean and well-kept.

Winter transformed Oslo's sculpture park into a magical wonderland. Snow adorned the sculptures, turning them into glistening masterpieces. The serene white landscape enhanced the artistic allure, creating a serene ambiance. Braving the cold, I discovered a unique beauty, where art and winter collaborated to craft an enchanting and tranquil atmosphere.

This public park is the home of one of the largest sculpture gardens in the world! The sculptures are by the famous Norwegian artist, Gustav Vigeland, and are all equally beautiful and amazing. The bridge is a great place for photos, and many of the statues are famous. Plan a little time here to stroll around and look at everything, as well as time for plenty of photos. It can be a little crowded in spots on busy days or weekends, as it is a popular tourist site. There is no charge for entrance.

Nice and huge park, a must visit during winter if you like winter wonderlands. The thing that ruined the experience a bit for me was the presence of too many dogs not on leash that were peeing and pooping everywhere. There should be stricter rules on cleanliness for dog owners

Absolutely beautiful park that’s easily accessible via public transport. The park itself is very large, relaxing, and peaceful. Highly recommended to everyone.

Best park of sculptures with huge green areas and beautiful landscape, must should visit for those who are interested specially in sculptures ❤️

Beautiful beautiful beautiful park. Must visit in Oslo. Park is too big and easily reachable by tram. It has multiple entries and exit. Some of the small cafe also available. It is mostly wheel chair friendly and plenty of sitting area for picnic. The statues are just out of this world. You can not compare the beauty with any other park. There is some museum also you can visit where do you see more statues. I would recommend 2-3 hours minimum spend here to explore everything. It is always crowded so pick your timing accordingly. It is free to visit the park.

If you are visiting the park as a tourist, I suggest book a tour with Oslo Guidebureau. Richard the guide was so good that the park made sense as we were told the story about every piece of art there is

A great day. Stunning views of the Oslo Fjord. Easy journey on the T-Bane and a short 10-15 minute walk (up a hill!) to the ski museum. The ski museum itself was interesting if you are into your skiing history. There is a great themed children’s room with slides too. Be sure to go to the top of the ski jump: stunning 360 degree views of Oslo and the surrounding countryside. Don’t bother with the ski simulator…expensive and poor quality. Take a walk to to troll statue near the base of the ski jump for more great pictures.

Very nice museum with the history of skiing in Norway. Don't forget to visit the ski jump tower with amazing view of the Oslo city. There is also a simulation that is pretty exciting. Finally it has an amazing inside playground for the kids.

This wasn’t originally of interest to me but I would now say that this is a must-see in Oslo! It’s not every day that you can see an Olympic-sized ski jump, and certainly not every day that you can go up one. It was interesting to learn about the history of skiing in Norway and some of the more recent history of ski jumping. The view from the top is also impressive, showing you all of Oslo and the surrounding area.

Went there to see the famous ski jumping stadium. Definitely nice place to see the skis and their history. Also try the tower and zip line at the end! Just before that there is also a ski simulator, it is so much fun!

Small place but really interesting. You don't have to be ski expert (I have never ski in my life) to visit the museum. You will learn interesting, unique things and spend easily 1 hour. It worth heading to the jump tower, as it provides extremely good views of the Oslo city and the fjord. Don't miss the opportunity. Highly recommended.

We caught the train to the ski museum as it's about 9km from the Oslo central station It's fairly well marked from the station and a bit of a climb up the hill to get there Like many places in Norway it only opened at 10am so we had to wait outside in the cold. It would be nice if there was a covered waiting area and they do have a coffee shop which could open a little earlier If you don't know much about skiing the museum won't mean much. There are a few simulations you can take part in The lift up to the viewing tower is quite steep and you can feel the height. Plenty of places to walk around on top , unfortunately mother nature was not kind this day and we could not get the wonderful views I have seen from numerous vlogs

An amazing place to visit and enjoy a beautiful view of the city. And if you like adventures, you can go zip lining.

We didn’t enter the museum during our trip as it was closed, there hadn’t been a lot of snow so everything was shut and snow machines were working hard, but we had always seen the Ski Jump from a distance on our previous trips to Oslo so finally made the effort to go and have an up close look. When we return we want to go inside and also up the ski jump to look over Oslo as you can tell the views will be stunning.

Although museum was closed until Dec 2023, there was enough to see and walk around to keep us amused for around 2 hours. Easy access T bane 1 from Central Odlo. Keep an eye out for the troll opposite for another photo opportunity!

I went in evening when this thing is closed. But the ski jump and other things are pretty to see in evening also. This is far from the main city though so plan appropriately

Stopped through as part of a day tour of booked through Viator. Not too much to see but still very interesting

Very nice museum and a great viewpoint to Oslo. If you have Oslo pass, you have free entrance.

Ski jump is not only a very popular sports but a traditon in Norway. The museum was closed for renovation but whatever we saw, it was breathtaking. The view from top overlooking Oslo was awesome. There was a simulter for people who wanted to get some feeling of ski jump. Also there was a zip line right from top to bottom for adventures people. Worth seeing...

I’ve loved watching ski jumping since I was a little kid, but have never wanted to do it myself. This amazing structure is the closest I’d want to come. I even chickened out of the zipline down. Spectacular views from all over the venue. Highly recommend.

This is the place which, when you visit, you understand how important skiing is for Norway, what is the history of skiing in Norway. In the Holmenkollen ski museum, you can get acquainted with the auxiliary long jump competitions and their prizes, what kind of clothing was used. You can watch the competition and see Oslo from above. I recommend going up when the weather is clear and visibility is good. You can try the high-speed lsalom simulator, during the summer you can go down with ropes, extreme sensations, but safe. In the summer, I recommend going to water the miskontakts, walking or running.

Incredible views and great experience. It’s very steep and has lots of stairs. If you don’t like heights, it will be a rough road for you. If you get dizzy I would not recommend because of the steepness of the stairs. It’s quite amazing and to think people go as fast as they can and jump off is astounding. Best views over Oslo.

I think visiting this museum was my best discovery in Oslo. We were 4 friends on trip and enjoyed every moment of this visit, that is really consistent - if you will to read everything you can easily spend 3-4 hours here. The best part was for us the outside with the evolution of the houses ans the actors inside - amazing ! 100% recommended.

Had a pleasant time walking around and visiting the buildings that had moved there from all over Norway and over various time periods. Most impressive was the beautiful stave church. We also enjoyed several of the exhibits and our three year old loved playing on the playground and with the Lego and train set that were available in one of the museum buildings. Would recommend to those who want to experience Norway but not have to travel too far!

Very nice and big open air museum! Total worth a visit if you are in Oslo! 🤩 if you have Oslo pass, the visit is for free. You can walk between houses and admire the history of Norway through those buildings. If you want to find out more information there are guided tours. But in this case you have to spend at least 1-2 hours at this museum. We recommend it! ✌️

We went to this museum with not many expectations and throughly enjoyed it. We spent a lot of time looking at the amazing indoor exhibitions first. We then had a light snack in the cafe before walking around the outdoor area. The Stave church and surrounding buildings were amazing. We also really enjoyed the other part with the city feel and walk in apartment buildings. It really gave a sense of life through the ages. Highly recommend a visit here!

Very picturesque location with many houses, shops and workshops from the middle age up to today. In the Indoor parts pf the museum you can see clothes, artifacts, amongst others. Food was quite good, includind soup and fresh sandwiches, when compared to the offer on most Norwegian attractions and museums. Been here during a Halloween special day where they had several extra activities for kids.

Wonderful folk museum (or village museum) that should not be missed by anyone visiting Oslo. This was the first museum visited when I arrived in the city. I love to see the old and recent houses in a village way. There are a lot of houses and other buildings exhibited and animals. You will see also couple of people dressed in nordic clothes that complete the image and can tell you more about the nordic live. Great museum recommended.

Absolutely stunning! This was a must see for my sister and I'm so glad because I thoroughly enjoyed walking around. An open air museum that allows you to understand what settlements looked like throughout the years. We had the perfect weather as well which made it that much better.

I went there during Christmas time and it was very scenery. They did a great job featuring the culture of Norway at its best. You can spend hours there, eat, visit the grounds and the museum. During Christmas, there are many vendors and it's like a little village from the past. Loved it!

A must visit when in Oslo, the old village is lovely, building to roam around, can easily fill a full day. Animals to see, demonstrate of local music and dance. Shows you Oslo through the ages highly recommended!

Surprisingly fun and informative destination. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and speak multiple languages. It is fantastic for school-aged kids as there are a lot of hands-on activities, including blacksmithing and woodworking, where the kids keep what they make. Easy to take the city bus there and enjoy.

I really enjoyed this place, but I can't give it 4.5 stars. The museum is well-organized, and I particularly liked the farm surrounding it. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you have spare time on a weekend morning with your family. On the negative side, I didn't like some members of the staff who were supposed to interact with the visitors but seemed distracted and engaged in conversations in one or two areas. On the positive side, most of the staff I interacted with were very friendly and provided explanations about Norwegian culture, which was exactly what I was looking for. Another strong point is that everything is well-maintained, despite a few items. I will leave some photos to entice you to visit.

Great open air museum. Well curated and super interesting to see how people lived over the last 1000 years in Norway. Kid friendly. We've been several times and the Halloween weekend is a fun experience. The culinary highlight is Lefse in Numedal. Don't miss it!

This is my third visit over the past 20 years but my first where I got the chance to properly take photos of each building. I spent so much time outdoors, I did not get to properly enjoyed the indoor exhibitions before they close at 4pm. Nevertheless, it is fascinating to see the interesting architecture which has so much history attached to them. After getting my ticket, I started walking into the compound slowly. Some of the houses are decorated in the interior as well so we can witness what a typical home would look like back then. There was even a school, a church, a barn and a store. The grounds were maintained so well. The buildings were kept as close to their original state as can be. I appreciate the signboards located at various intervals as they provide a good source of information and insights to the various types of building and which era they are from. The area is quite huge and to appreciate everything properly, you need to walk around the entire grounds. Since I visited during Friday afternoon, there were not many tourists around and I felt I had the while place to myself. This place is quite easy to visit since it is so close to Oslo and I took a bus from the National Theatre and the bus stops right in front of the musuem. Although the exhibition closes at 4pm, the musuem grounds are still accessible and they close at 6pm.

I have a friend that lives in Oslo and he took my wife and I here for their Christmas market. I would’ve never thought to come here but it was absolutely a highlight of the trip. There was so much to see and to learn about Norwegian culture and architecture. The market was charming and had much to do. I loved the bands and the dancing around the tree. There were exhibits on traditional home brewing of Norwegian dark beer, bread making and many other things. It was remarkably festive and incredibly beautiful. Highly recommend.

What an absolute bargain of a quality day out! We spent 3 hours here in winter, bearing in mind that in the summer they have reenactors and farm animals to entertain you as well as the freedom to wander around/into the historical buildings from across Norway. A highlight was the Sami settlement, offering education about an indigenous people of Norway who were sadly persecuted until very recently. Some of the buildings are locked up during winter, but as I say I still felt there was plenty to fill a good few hours, and at such a generous entrance fee it felt more than your money’s worth. Highly recommend for those spending a couple of days in Oslo. Be aware the water bus only runs in warmer months, so you will need to take a normal bus or the hop-on-hop-off to get to the museum (both are very regular!)

Absolutely excellent museum. There are many museums on the grounds and some living museums. You could spend a full day here. Excellent displays in every building the period towns are fascinating. Well with a visit.

Great Architect Work preserved ...must be Admired ... this day when weather temperature is low, Tourists in good number are seen to capture Glimpses from different choicest Angles .ENJOYED

This place was worth the visit. If you are ever in Oslo you should make it a point to visit. Get the tour of the interior of the castle, it is worth the time. Bring able to see the castle in its current state and hear of its past was fascinating. Talk to the tour guides, they know a lot and hear very helpful. You can learn a lot about the castle and the nobility of the time

A nice castle to visit. This is the castle that was supposed to be a model castle for a movie called ''Frozen''. It's nice to see. Inside was beautiful. So stunning. It's a nice to walk around inside.

Akershus Fortress is a captivating blend of history and breathtaking views. Exploring the medieval architecture and wandering through the corridors felt like stepping back in time. The commanding vistas of Oslo's harbor and the cityscape are simply mesmerizing, making it a must-visit spot for history enthusiasts and sightseers alike. Usually i go there to watch the beautiful sunset in the evening

Very peaceful and scenic. Great sunset view point, you will get to see mesmerizing picturesque.

Amazing attraction which is located very close to the Oslo harbour. Fort having beautiful garden inside. You can find interesting church inside. We noticed a marriage ceremony 😜. Just take a walk inside and you’ll find a museum and the small shopping store. Always cops available no need to worry about security. Public toilets available inside the museum. Garden and the fort background are made for perfect panoramic pictures, don’t forget to click one.

Quiet and calm place. I recommend sitting by the small pond and observing the Kai fish. Its very relaxing, also a must visit place in Oslo. It is a short walk from the Oslo Central Station.

Beautiful place to visit. Free to enter the grounds and fortress. Separate museum you can pay for. Lovely area and also has 2 other museums inside of it. Worth a visit.

A complex castle well preserved from the Middle ages. I do not know but I feel there could be some other historical exhibitions other than the cannons placed towards the sea. Also the view from the garden and walls is deserve to enter the complex.

Very beautiful place in Oslo with great view over the fjord, harbour and city. You can visit most of the area without any entrance cost and walk along the fortress walls. Especially beautiful in winter and not very crowded. Enjoy this beautiful place.

When I visited the fortress on Nov 3, 2021, all the site museums were closed. Much of the site was under restoration and/or maintenance. The views onto the harbour were fantastic nevertheless.

What a beautiful fortress! Wow! The best is full of history and culture, walk on the roof of Oslo and especially enjoy a panoramic view on the harbor to make beautiful pictures. For my part, I visited this place at night, it was always open and it is free. I took the opportunity to walk around the fortress. My visit lasted about 1 hour, the time to take some nice pictures and to enjoy the place. It takes about 15min on foot from the city center.

Cool look to the outside. Great location near the center of Oslo, on the water. Interesting inside for a reasonable fee (100 Kr). Lots of original tapestries and furniture. A good size to explore without being over-stimulating. We got buy-in from our 4 year-old by explaining that this was the castle Disney used to inspire Elsa & Anna's castle in "Frozen."

Beautiful fortress in Oslo. Near by to opera house and Munch. However connected with bus also. It is good place to relax and watch sunset. plenty of things to do inside during summer time and there are some activities also arranged which needs to be checked in schedule. There are some cafe around to sit and enjoy the view. It is having very old architecture like any other fortress and many places to explore inside. I would recommend sitting in nice garden and watch sunset in Oslo to end your trip and create some memories.

It was quite beautiful to see. We had visited with our families and it was a beautiful half day well spent. The palace is one of the best visits in Oslo.

Beautiful fortress with amazing views of the surrounding. Many of the structures are under renovations so we couldn't visit. But the outside remains wonderful for the visit. There is a nice welcoming/visitors center with a nice museum and gift shop. Definitely a great way to spend a day when the weather is nice.

The castle itself is closed on weekdays in winter, but the fortress and museums are open. We didn’t bother with the museums as they aren’t our cup of tea, but I still highly recommend the fortress just for how beautiful a place it is, with extensive views of the fjord given its defensive high ground position. The visitor centre is free, but small and with damaged displays, so didn’t really add much to our visit. The area is active military land so it was interesting seeing soldiers out and about in such a historic fortress!

It's fantastic! I think my husband and I may have taken several hundred pictures around the fortress. We stopped by the gift shop and picked up a few things there, too. We have fallen in love with this breathtakingly beautiful town!

Akershus Fortress in Oslo stands as a remarkable testament to Norway's rich historical tapestry, offering visitors a unique blend of medieval architecture, military history, and panoramic views of the Oslo fjord. This venerable fortress, dating back to the 13th century, not only served as a vital military stronghold but also played a significant role in the political and cultural development of Norway. Walking through its well-preserved grounds and buildings, one can't help but be transported back in time, imagining the sieges it withstood and the royal and political figures who walked its halls. The site also provides a serene escape from the bustling city, with beautifully maintained gardens and paths that invite leisurely exploration. The fortress houses several museums that delve into its fascinating history, including the Norwegian Resistance Museum, which offers an insightful look into Norway's struggle during World War II. Akershus Fortress is not just a tourist attraction; it's a living museum that continues to be a place of official ceremonies and public events, bridging the past with the present. Its strategic location atop a hill in the heart of Oslo makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply enjoying stunning views over the city and the fjord beyond.

Recommended Visit in Oslo Norway 🇳🇴 Agnes Fortress is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. The fortress is incredibly well-preserved, and the views of the city from the top are stunning. The surrounding park is also beautiful and perfect for a picnic or a stroll. Highly recommend a visit to Agnes Fortress! Follow me on Google for more ❤️

This castle is one of the oldest places in Oslo. It is free to enter and wander around the garden and outside areas of the castle, but for inside, you need to pay. You can see breathtaking views from the castle's garden, and you can be mesmerized by the architecture of the castle.

Nice place and a beautiful architecture. Many flowers and greenery outside the City Hall building. One can relax there and enjoy the weather. Magnificent place.

Beautiful design and architecture in the heart of Oslo. Oslo City Hall was constructed between 1931 and 1950, with an interruption during the Second World War. It is built of red brick and has two towers, one 63 meters tall and other 66 meters tall. The bricks used are larger than what was typical at the time of construction, but are roughly the same size as bricks used in the Middle Ages. On December 10 (anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death) each year, Oslo City Hall hosts the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in which the annual laureate gives a lecture and is awarded the medal and diploma. A podium for the laureate and the Nobel Committee is erected in the far end of the hall for each ceremony. The Norwegian royal family and prime minister are attendants. Must have a visit if you planning to visit Oslo.

Stunning murals which you can spend plenty of time appreciating. Displays majesty without being propagandic or too boisterous. The view of the water from some of the rooms is beautiful as well. When we went it was a quiet sunny morning which allowed us to fully take in the experience.

It is just Amazing and who doesn’t love this architecture. One of the greatest attractions of the Oslo city. Captivating twin towers and magnificent infrastructure. You will never regret by visiting this beautiful place. A big hall inside with fantastic history. Also, Oslo Kommune operates here. Marriages takes place here. Public toilets available. Easy accessible public transportation to this place. Also many restaurants available just outside the twin tower. Have a pleasant visit☺️

Pretty building located close by the sea. Did not visit the interior, only saw the outside and the surroundings: the harbour promenade area, the Nobel building. Beautiful area.

Radhuset is the place where Nobel peace prizes are awarded. If you are in Oslo, then this place deserves a visit. The grand hall with all its murals depicting Norway's history is a sight to see. The Radhuset is free to visit. It was even open on the Easter. You get nice views of the Oslofjord from this place.

This is the most beautiful city hall that I have ever visited. It has a large hall inside with nice paintings on the walls. You can also visit the rooms on the second floor where there are more beautiful paintings. It is located about 10-15 minutes walk from the city center near to the harbor with a great view.

Interesting place on the map of the city. It has its own special atmosphere. You can visit it for free during working hours.

Beautiful building in heart of Oslo. It is well connected by bus, metro, tram and ferry. Also many of the places are just waking distance from here. Architecture is amazing. Brick walls looks beautiful and huge building. The inner hall is having beautiful paintings and other view. Must visit on Oslo.

I don't have much to do with the town hall since I'm just a tourist. But the art around and at the town hall is really worth a visit. The building itself is a real eye-catcher.

Un lugar hermoso y obligado en cualquier visita a Oslo. Nos tocó presenciar la llegada de gente a bodas y bautizos, vestidos a la usanza típica noruega: una maravilla. La sala donde se entrega el Nobel de la Paz es magnífica. (Translated by Google) A beautiful place and a must on any visit to Oslo. We had to witness the arrival of people to weddings and baptisms, dressed in typical Norwegian fashion: a marvel. The room where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded is magnificent.

Went there today with my girlfriend around 1 pm. The place is massive. It had a relaxing environment and a good vibe to it. There is a security check point when you want to enter the building. Which takes only a few minutes. The place has a lovely architecture to it. There are a lot of artifacts and scenes. I'd definitely recommend people to visit this place.

The magnificent building of the town hall is open to visitors. It was interesting and informative.

We did know much about this place but our walking tour guide advised us to go inside and see it. Next day we came early in the mornig when there was no queu at all. Please note that entrance is free. It was amazing inside. One has to see it to appreciate it. At lobby level there was a big hall with beautiful paintings all four sides. The Noble Peace Prize ceremony takes place in this hall. On the first floor there were many rooms with awesome paintings and murals by 20th century Norway painters. Each room was better than other. We though we would finish in half an hour but we spent almost two hours inside. Please note the main entrance is from city centre and not from sea side. Don’t miss it…

I haven't been inside (and I hear it's well worth a visit) but just in the outside which is not so impressive, but still a city's landmark.

Amazing architecture. For a long time I didn’t know that you could go inside this place and admire the beauty of the architecture. And when I visited, I was left impressed by every minute details there. I even visited the place for a dinner hosted by the mayor and the feel was great to be there. Would 100% recommend everyone to visit this place. It’s truly worth it and free to enter. Also while entering they check your bags and scan you. So best to not carry too many unnecessary things with you.

It’s a really nice building where apparently the Nobel Peace prize ceremony was hosted. It’s meant to be a quick stop to have a look rather than something to make an event out of. Really only one main room to look at. Interesting art work on the walls. Small security check before you enter in building.

Beautiful Museum. I love building , many have different view but the view from above is nice. You require to have tickets purchased or Oslo pass can include this. There are different floors with different themes. The main attraction is the scream and it's worth it. There is a floor for children games and activities so you can leave children there and enjoy other floors. The sky bar was closed when I visited but the view from above is really nice. It might take 1-2 hours to see full but if you just go for scream then it will be less. If you have Oslo pass then must visit place.

The museum's organization is exemplary, making the exploration of its vast collection a seamless and enjoyable experience. The layout is well thought out, with a logical flow that guides visitors through Munch's artistic journey. Each exhibition space is carefully curated, presenting the artworks in a manner that allows for a deeper understanding of the artist's evolution, themes, and techniques. The art displayed at the Munch Museum is a treasure trove of creativity and emotion. The collection encompasses a wide range of Munch's works, including iconic pieces such as "The Scream". The museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing Munch's art is evident, and visitors have the opportunity to delve into the artist's exploration of human emotions, existentialism, and the human condition.

Brilliant exhibits, delicious Scream 😱 burger, fantastic view from one of the top floors of the museum’s state of the art architecture. I also loved the pedagogy. I strongly recommend to get tickets in advance. We wanted to visit the museum in the afternoon of my birthday but even with an Oslo pass we would have to wait for over 2 hours so we decided to rather return the next day. Nonetheless 5 stars ⭐️😄

Amazing museum in the center of Oslo, on the shore of the fjord. It displays the work of Munch on multiple floors. The curation is great, at some point the museum offers interactive experiences. It is definitely worth visiting! After a great visit one can go to the top of the museum, and enjoy the picturesque view of Oslo (you can go up there also without buying a ticket, and enjoy a drink in the bar).

Wonderful experience for those who love Munch! The Scream (Skrik) is my Mona Lisa, so it was amazing to see it! They have 3 versions of it, one in black and white lithography, 1 colored drawing and the tempera and oil paining, which is the famous one! They display only one of them at once, switching every 30 minutes. The first two are displayed twice before the third famous one, so you might want to make sure you set your time to catch it. They also have Anxiety (Angst), another well-known lovely one. But there's so much more! Munch tried lots of artsy things, including wood cutting. He also has tremendous giant art, the big paintings are in the Monument room. It takes around 2 hours to visit to make sure you catch all 3 versions of The Scream. It can be more or less depending on your art pace. :) There's the main art works on floor 4, then the Monument floor, then there are some other activities at 2 more floors, and at the top it's the restaurant. You can buy nice Munchish souvenirs at the museum shop on the ground floor. You can leave your jacket/things in the locker on the first floor for free BEFORE scanning your ticket (otherwise you need to re-enter; but even so, you can scan your ticket twice, no worries). You can visit for free every Wednesday after 18:00 (6 p.m.). Totally worth it! ♥️

I should start by saying this is an art museum and only people with a passion on art can enjoy this. That said, now going into my impressions on Munch museum. It’s one of the most amazing art museum’s I’ve ever been to. I have to say, it is very huge 😅. We spent around 4hrs in the museum and could only cover 60% of it. It’s kinda hard to pick what-I-liked here. You’ll love every minute you spend in this building. Should I choose something, I loved the Munch monumental. They have dedicated 2 floors (merged in to one insanely big room) just for this section. This room had the most popular painting like The Sun, in an unimaginable size. This place is worth another visit. My wife is an artist and she said she left a part of herself in that museum. No more words.

Our visit was not planned and actually we have seen a scream at National Museum before. We went to the Munch Museum because of hard rain all the time but it was worth every single NOK. Great exhibition, wonderful building, spectacular view. Love the little details, the giant exhibition and became a real Munch fan.

Very clean museum. The architecture of the building is very modern and has a rooftop bar with a nice view of Oslo. The art is amazing! Edvard Munch was a really talented man with a beautiful story. Ofcourse the scream is a highlight, but I suggest to watch further than that! Overall a nice experience!

Enjoyed learning about the expressionist artist Munch. Well curated museum, 3 ‘scream’ artworks exhibited in a protected room with timed viewings. Activity room to engage in block drawing. Very interesting. Free coat lockers. Was going to g to have a glass of wine at the Sky Bar but stayed for a fantastic dinner!

Impressive collection of works, well organized. One can fully understand Munch and his pains throughout this exhibition. Also, other temporary exhibitions are happening, the one I saw was very good as well. Some modern art installations as well. Spectacular view from the top.

Interesting to see Munch's other work beyond "The Scream," a painting for which I have never had a particular passion. The first level exhibit was a little over-stuffed with work so I had to be careful not to miss anything. The other levels had fewer items and were more enjoyable for me to view and digest. I was impressed with a lot of his work and so glad I visited. The size is perfect to enjoy in an afternoon, I was able to see it all in 2.5 hours without having to rush. I recommend going. If you have children, a few hands-on/immersive experiences might help keep them engaged.

Great experience, loads to see. Only busy area was around The Scream exhibits. Some interesting interactive exhibits, not just pictures and displays. You'll need a couple of hours to see everything. Good cafe on the ground floor..

This is an amazing museum. The exhibits are expertly curated. Every floor has its own distinct theme and tone. I really like that there are wide open spaces where you can just sit and integrate all of the art. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent gift shop. Wonderful views of the water and opera.

Explore this exceptional museum with its expertly curated exhibits across various floors, each presenting a unique theme and tone. Enjoy the spacious areas that make absorbing the art a comfortable experience. The friendly and well-informed staff, along with an excellent gift shop, add to the overall appeal. Panoramic views of the water and opera enhance the ambiance. Don't miss the Munch Museum, featuring the fascinating rotation of three versions of "The Scream" every 30 minutes. And that's not all – this extraordinary museum offers more than art. Ascend to the rooftop for a stunning view while savoring a drink or meal at the bar and restaurant. On the ground floor, a well-stocked coffee place provides delightful food and snacks. Convenient lockers are available for visitors and I like museums who don’t close at 5 pm.

It is not really a must visit, but if you have time to spare, this is a good place to see The Scream (he produced several versions in different mediums, but there is always at least one on display) and to find out more about out Edvard Munch’s life, upbringing and his stays in Paris and Ekerly in Oslo, where he lived for 20 years. Regarded as one of Modernism’s most influential practitioners, it was actually quite sad to learn of his loneliness and occasional depressive state of mind, though he did channel these into his works. Quite an interesting way to spend 2-3 hours. If you have young children, there are a number of interactive activities for them, e.g. Sophie’s Room or the wood blocks. And there are lovely views of the harbour from the higher floors.

This is one of the most interesting and nicest museums I have visited. I liked not only the extensive Munch collection, but the other floors of the museum too. We even catched a performance on the last floor and was very cool. The view with the bar upstairs is just WOW. Must visit fo Oslo for sure!

Large exhibition, painting "The Scream" by Munch was drawn in three versions, in the museum they show each version of Skream for half an hour, and then show another version. The ticket is valid throughout the day, you can leave and re-enter the museum, it’s very convenient. There are safes for bags with combination locks, audio guides, and free movement for people with disabilities.

Well spent 15€, you can enjoy not only the paintings but to see Edward Munch life up close, many interactive expositions. Nice view on rooftop too. Rooftop accessible via lift, don’t have to pay, just go to the sky-bar.

This is a working palace and it was captivating to watch a dignitary motorcade leave the palace under tight security and be escorted to the Villa behind the palace. The grounds are breathtaking. And you are allowed to stroll at your leisure. Many schoolchildren and running clubs were using the grounds. In all a happy place to be! Recommend you stroll through and enjoy the works.

The palace was closed for visitors while we were there, since it is only open for tours in the Summer. The first and one of the largest Norwegian parks in front of the palace that is open to visitors. It is nice, since how many times have you had the opportunity to walk through King and Queen's front yard? There is a statue of King Carl Johan on his horse that was unveiled 7 September 1875 and faces the city. The park has a nice view of one of the main boulevards from the hill. There is a changing of the guards at 6:00 pm where a group of soldiers march out and relieve the previous three guards that were on duty. That was fun to see and worth putting on your list of activities, since I had not seen one since visiting England. My husband saw the Prince waving from his car while we were at the FIS Cross-country Skiing World Cup at Holmenkollen on March 9-10, 2024. The Queen and some princesses were there. The King has been sick and unable to attend, so if you can keep him in your prayers.

It is a very beautiful palace. The whole area is nicely arranged and the park is pretty also in the winter/autumn, with all the leaves laying in the ground. The guards are friendly and like to take pictures with you. You just need to now that you can not get inside the palace for a tour after August. But that's written on the website.

Royal palace is one of the main attractions in the city of Oslo. I visited this by getting into city sightseeing bus which took me to other places too. This is a nice ancient building constructed in aesthetically very attractive. From this place you many get almost whole and beautiful view of the Karl Johan gate leading towards Norwegian Parliament. A nice place overall

Fun to stop by if you're in the area. There isn't a gate between you and the palace, so you can get pretty close if you want. The changing of the guard was a cool event to see as well.

It was fantastic here, such a nice palace! The guards were really friendly and the garden is a great spot to chill and relax if you need a little rest of the city life! It was a nice walk through the park and the garden as well. As a tourist I can just say, incredibly good park and a very beautiful palace!! It’s so central in the city that you really have to take a look at this beautiful place! Just enjoy and relax!

We have visited only the wonderful park around the castle. It has small lakes with birds, lot of flowers, trees, all these in a beautiful landscape, so it was really a great experience to walk around there 😊. Only the rain.. Which has always a big chance to stop the visitors - but it's not their fault.. 😅

We went there today around 1:30 pm. The place is really massive. It's clean, well designed and full of tourists. We saw the king's guards marching which was very interesting. There are a lot of statues around the place. However, the main one is at the front side of the palace. Noteworthy to mention that there is also an English guided tour available at the back entrance of the place for approximately 150 Kr. I think the tour lasts 20 minutes or so and they show what's inside the building. There are also a handful of king's guards on every post, which was also interesting.

Stayed fairly close to this Royal Palace so visited at the end of the day. It was nice because around 7 pm there were not too many people around the palace. Nice to see all the gardens around, nice place to sit and chill on a sunny day. Other than that I did not go in but the street next to the palace is nice with good food spots and nice shops.

Built in 1814, the palace is the official residency and workplace of the Norwegian royalty and where foreign dignitaries stay. It is designed in a neoclassical architectural style with beautifully designed rooms. In the front of the palace is an equestrian statue of Karl Johan, a fascinating Frenchman who became the Swedish-Norwegian king and the first monarch of the Bernadotte dynasty, elected the heir-presumptive to King Charles XIII of Sweden. One can walk around the gardens in Slottsparken, opened in 1847, to see the sculptures, and then head in for a guided tour. Note that tours are only open in the summer and one should book in advance.

I was fortunate to stay so near the Royal Palace. It was just a short stroll from my hotel. This is one of the most popular and recognisable buildings in Oslo. Situated on one end of a very long street and in a beautiful park, this amazing landmark is a must visit for anyone who comes to Oslo. I learned that the Palace is open to the public during the summer months where one can purchase a ticket and walk inside for a tour. Alas, since I was visiting during the late autumn, I guess I missed the opportunity this year. Nevertheless, the exterior of the Palace is equally impressive. There is a huge courtyard in front and a statue as well. When I walked up the steps, I can sense the granduer of times long past. From what I have been informed, this is still the official residence of the current monarchy and many affairs of the state is being carried out inside the halls of this magnificent structure.

Very cool place and I highly recommend visiting to see the changing of the guard. Very cool experience to see up close.

September 2023 We had beautiful weather. And Lucky to catch the simple Guard display. Walked around the Palace. Lucky plenty of benches to seats for rest and admire the surroundings. It's a reasonable walk from the main street. Saw a few bicycle tours surrounding the palace.

Beautiful palace. Definitely worth to see when visiting Oslo. You can get quite close to the building and see it up close. The changing of the guards is also quite spectacular to see.

A must visit shopping street in Oslo.

This area is particularly filled with lots of Souvenir shops, Hotels, Restaurants, cafes etc. This is the most happening are near Oslo Central station. This area also houses a lot of historical buildings & monuments

Nice city and its amazing with fully of organizing, 1000% safe coty in the workd you can walk to every where you can, All norwigen like to help people

This street is beautiful say and night, summer and winter. You can't say you have visit Oslo without doing a walk across this street.

Great street to stroll and shop on in Oslo. Be sure to check it out when you are in town. There are a large number of retailers, including name brand and high end shops, restaurants, cafes, and other stores.

Nice and beautiful street with everything in Oslo, Good for a walk and cycling. lots of bars, cafes, hotels, street with lots of tourists. I liked to walk there.

Lively. Cool place to hang out.

奧斯陸主要購物大街。The main shopping street in Oslo. There are many big chain shops and stores on this street. Also, cars are not allowed to drive through usually. From the beginning to the end (the central station — The Oslo Palace), it normally takes around 13 min (1.5 km) by walking. You can have a good shopping time here!

Beautiful part of Oslo, strolling & browsing.

A beautiful and lovely street, a must visit! ❤️

Long walking shopping street connecting the Palace and oslo central station. You will find gift shops along the way so very good for tourist to explore.

Carl Johans gate in Oslo is a vibrant thoroughfare that perfectly encapsulates the city’s charm. Lined with shops, cafes, and historic landmarks, it offers a delightful blend of culture and commerce. Strolling down this iconic street, you’ll be greeted by stunning architecture, bustling crowds, and a lively atmosphere. A must visit in Oslo

Nice street to shop and dine. Starts at Oslo Station and ends at the Royal Palace.

It is a must-see place for everyone who comes to visit Oslo. It offers many opportunities for shopping and socializing. But I found it a little expensive

Just an ok street, there are better ones in other nordic countries.

Nice and famous street with lots of shops and a nice park

Touching museum about humans! A lot of text materials, so I am not sure it will be interesting for little children although there are some interactive parts. Recommend visiting, it is very inspiring!

We popped in about an hour before it closed and staff were really helpful in directing us to the most kiddie friendly exhibits. Really interesting, inspiring, interactive and fun. Highly recommend for kids and grown ups alike. The Yoko Ono exhibition was surprisingly enjoyable.

A one of a kind museum - you must visit for any trip to Oslo. Even the gift shop is really inspiring!

Informative, interactive and visually stunning exhibits. There was so much information packed into the exhibits. I loved that the activities and questions aimed at children was displayed at children's eye level. I easily spent an hour looking through all the exhibits.

This beautiful historical Centre is located very close to Aker Brygge Marina. We were very keen to see it from inside, but unfortunately it was closed for renovation. May be next time.

Educational tour and hands-on experience enhanced my experience. Very knowledgeable tour guides. There are plenty of gifts for everyone. The tea has an excellent flavor.

Norwegian: Nobelprisen are five separate prizes that, according to Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to Mankind." Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, and industrialist most famously known for the invention of dynamite. He died in 1896. In his will, he bequeathed all of his "remaining realisable assets" to be used to establish five prizes which became known as "Nobel Prizes." Nobel Prizes were first awarded in 1901. The Nobel Peace Center (Norwegian: Nobels Fredssenter) in Oslo, Norway is a showcase for the Nobel Peace Prize and the ideals it represents. The center is also an arena where culture and politics merge to promote involvement, debate and reflection around topics such as war, peace and conflict resolution.[1] The center is located in Oslo, Norway at the City Hall Square.

Inspiring and gorgeous museum that uses modern & digital technologies to tell the story of peace prizes throughout history. I would give yourself at least two hours to work through the museum, there is plenty to see and read. It was the highlight of our day!

One of the best places I’ve visited in Oslo. Besides the history of Nobel Prize, there is an impressive collection of people who won the prize. Don’t miss this museum

Went there today around 2 pm. The place was unfortunately closed due to renovation. The building is nice Have fun looking at the pictures

Words can’t even describe how I feel having just received the most beautiful, heartwarming and heartbreaking guided tours. Your tour guide embodies the true essence and art of Storytelling. Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏🏼🫶🏼

A very moving experience. This is a must see in Oslo The permanent exhibition takes the attendee through the whole history of the Nobel Peace Prize and its founder. There is also a room with a picture of every single winner and a short explanation of whether they did. When i attended there are also two additional exhibitions, one outlining the work of Yoko Ono and one called Woman Life Freedom about Narges Mohammadi and her struggle against inequality in Iran. The latter exhibition was almost too upsetting to stand. It was brilliantly presented.

The Peace Prize is well-known around the world and the museum details its history as well as letting you know about the various people who have won the award. The museum also delves into how the prize was created and the history of the man who it’s named after, Alfred Nobel.

Wonderful exhibit of this year’s winner Narges Mohammadi as well as a well done exhibition about Yoko Ono.

One of the places on my must visit list when in Oslo. Alas, despite visiting this lovely city a couple of times, I still have not managed to go inside. This time around, they were closed for some interior renovation. I was quite certain that I was able to get some time to visit this place properly and did not check the updates online. Nevertheless, I did get a decent shot of the front facade on a sunny, autumn day. Hopefully, I can come back again in the future and complete my tour in this historic facility

It’s a pity most museums were under renovation when I went in May’23. Other than that, it’s a quiet and good place to chill. Visited Huk beach and had a great BBQ with a few other groups doing the same!

Beautiful peninsula, reachable by ferry or bus from the city center! It is home to a dozen museums and full of amazing looking villas! There are a couple of supermarkets and some restaurant! It is very quiet and relaxing!

Nice park out there to chill out and its near to the museum

Lovely peninsula with everything you need during your holiday. There are museums, beaches, walking and cycling tracks. Not far from city centre, you can take ferry to the town during a summer. In winter you can enjoy many cross country ski tracks. Very nice place.

Really nice place to visit on a sunny day, enjoy the barbecue, beaches or sport activities. Great spot for gatherings or just to explore. Would recommend

A small sandy beach with boat harbour. Need better facilities like changing rooms and better toilets. There was a cafe owned by yatch club association and that was closed.

If you want have a long walk next to the beach , then this place fit to you . You can watch sunset and relax 😍

This is such a lovely area of Oslo! I have been there twice, taking in the museums and walking part lovely homes. It is not to be missed! The ferry ride out is very pleasurable. If you are going during summer months, take your bathing suit.

Visited in 1964 with my late wife Randi, a magnificent and unforgettable experience.

A lot interesting points of Norwegian history during ww2 can be found on the place. Around 1h is enough to go through all exhibits.

Super cool museum. Really enjoyed learning about the history of Norway during their time under occupation

An interesting exhibition including aspects of the heavy water war in Rjukan. Helpful staff and some great views over Aker Brygge. Some of the lights on the dioramas were not working.

Incredibly comprehensive museum showing the hard work of the Norwegian people following the surprise attack by the Germans. Lots of source material. Fascinating. Well worth the visit.

The museum has a wealth of information about Norway's occupation and follow-up resistance before, during, and after the occupation. How does it feel, and what is it like to live under occupation? Collaborators and their fate! Partisans and other activists are examples nicely visualized with plenty of artifacts of the time well preserved—a must-place visit for the history buff to see sacrifice and resilience.
